he really should have. the movie was mediocre at best. Kidman was good and Penn was okay. but the movie itself was very average.

Quote from: Weak2ndActWhen Penn kills a baddie, does he say 'interpret this!'?
If he does then I'm definitely going to see it.
The Beatles know Jesus Christ has returned to Earth and is in Los Angeles.

I have nothing to say about the movie itself, but I've discovered that an alarming number of people can't seem to pronounce the word 'interpreter.'  They look at the word, they struggle, looking as if there's some complex math equation going on behind the darting eyes.  So far I've hear 'Inter-Peter,' 'Inter-ceptor,' 'In-trep-eter,' 'Interloper,' and my personal favorite 'Interp... Intrep... the Nicole Kidman movie.'

Yes, I work at a video store.

The Interpreteer.

Interloper is a bit extreme.

Maybe.  Then again, my friend worked at a theatre a few years back, and told me he used to get more than a few people asking for tickets to "Mulholland Doctor" and "Apartment Pupil".

I don't see how that needs a long story to help explain it.

I don't see how it makes people dumb.  Not all are movie buffs,  my friend.

re: the interloper mispronounciation thing, yeah that happens a lot.  I used to work at an indie and foreign film house, and it was pretty painful.  people kept on calling the house of flying daggers "the house of flying dragons."  and "l'auberge espagnole" was awesome.
back to the interpreter, just saw it on HBO here in Taiwan.  I actually didn't mind all the silly stuff--especially the fake country.  I thought the acting was pretty good and the staged attempt, though I saw it coming a mile away, was an entertaining revelation.  I however, do not see a point to this movie.  like would they make a movie like this?  they obviously felt like there was some sorta political relevance for it to take place in New York with a bunch of post-911, post-Iraq, post-Rhwanda buzzwords thrown in, but why?
